Here's some advice on tweaking it to effectively be an INT/DEX or FTH/DEX rather than trying to spread stats thin across all areas.

ATT should stop at 19, as that is when you get 5 spell slots. 20 ATT does nothing better than 19 ATT.STR at 22 is arbitrary, while 16 / 24 / 27 STR are all practical breakpoints for scaling.DEX scaling is capped at 40 for practical purposes, but 45 is reasonable if you really wish to have marginally faster cast speed. 50 and 60 are a bit wasteful in comparison.INT & FTH both greatly benefit from 40 or 50 points. Both suffer at >30ish due to reduced scaling & actual Mag. Adj. which directly effects the damage of your spells / miracles / weapon buffs. The only time I believe an INT/FTH hybrid is effective (at a reasonable level) is when combining Moonlight Greatsword with miracles (such as WoG, Replenishment, Great Magic Barrier). This is obviously subjective, but 30ish INT and 30ish FTH is using both spells and miracles at reduced power.

Here is a FTH/DEX: http://mmdks.com/7oloAdd +5 VIT / DEX / FTH if capping at SL150, but 125-135 is still meta for PVP purposes if that's your thingRH1 can be interchanged with anything of 5-6 weight (Uchi, Iaito, Flamberge, Silver Knight Spear)RH2 can be interchanged with anything of 1.5-3 weight (Rapier, Ricard's Rapier, Estoc, Shotel, Paint.Guard.Swd, Falchion)LH1 is pretty unlimited and can even fit Eagle Shield if you so chooseLH2 is Darkmoon Talisman because +5 Mag Adj over Sunlight Talisman (at both 45 and 50 FTH)Fashion Souls is whatever you make it, but this is very lightweight and can be tweaked with the remaining weightSecond ring choice(s): Wolf, Hornet, Leo (if you want to get pokey), Dark Woodgrain

Here is an INT/DEX: http://mmdks.com/7olqAgain, +5 to VIT / DEX / INT if capping at SL150Equipment + Ring advice is the same as above (plus Moonlight Greatsword, Moonlight Butterfly Horn and Velka's Rapier)Can swap to Crown of Dusk when not facing PVP against INT/FTH builds, it's a difference of 131 Mag.Def. Can wear Witch's Hat for a more fitting/festive look

Here is an INT/FTH hybrid: http://mmdks.com/7olsThis is at 150, because there's no "good" corner-cutting to make an effective one at SL125-135Almost everything from above applies to this build as well

Here is an INT/Pyro hybrid: http://mmdks.com/7oluAdd +10 VIT / +4 ATT / +1 END for SL150Fashion Souls & Rings as you see fit, but Bellowing (plus Power Within!) for max Pyro damage

Don't take this too seriously. Builds don't need to be optimized, and especially when you're playing PVE or offline it's most important that you simply enjoy yourself. In PVP, where Soul Level matters (for the sake of matchmaking), optimizing becomes more necessary to ensure you're still within the same range as other players for frequent online interactions.
